http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5954 Not able to read REMOTE_USER Summary: Not able to read REMOTE_USER Product: Tomcat 4 Version: 4.0.1 Final Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: RESOLVED Severity: Major Priority: Other Component: Catalina AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Using the JDBCrealm to a MySQL database, I have the problem when reading the REMOTE_USER via my servlet for the first time it is empty. When I browse to the same url for the second time, the REMOTE_USER variable is correctly filled in. Example (site isn't working only used as an example): * browse to : www.test.com/admin.html * login via the JDBCRealm * admin.html route me to my servlet via the client (using a META tag) * reading the remote_user via the httpServletRequest.getRemoteUser() it is empty * again browse to www.test.com/admin.html * reading the remote_user again it is filled in with the correct values ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002-01-31 22:24 ------- Closing with WORKSFORME, because this scenario works in the example application supplied with Tomcat -- either with form-based login the way it is shipped, or when you switch it to BASIC. The user principal (and therefore the remote user) fields are populated on the first request, as well as subsequent requests. To test this for yourself, modify "webapps/examples/WEB-INF/web.xml" to specify BASIC authentication, then execute: http://localhost:8080/examples/jsp/security/protected/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
